so we're working hard here at podmind hivequarters to figure out winners and prizes and get it all sorted in a timely manner!





podcat has taken charge of the paperwork to ensure proper distribution of prizes.

yes, i am ashamed of myself. i have no excuse.



and yes, by timely i do mean that you aren't going to have to wait much longer before we start!

but right now? well, i'd like to start a rec-fest! i wish i could say i was going to kick it off, but, tragically, the only three offerings i've managed to listen to so far are the three i beta'd. and while i think those are awesome, i am also thinking i have a conflict of interest.

but! i am still very bossy full of suggestions! so. rec us one (or three! or seven!) of the amplificathon podfics! tell us what you liked about the reader's interpretation, or voice, or phrasing, or story choice! tell us your favorite, or the one that surprised you. tell us about the one that sucked you into a new fandom.

listeners, this is your chance to post! go for it!

one rec at a time...

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

So far nothing's beat I Would Rather Be Anywhere Else Than Here Today (http://jinjurly.com/audio/i-would-rather-be-anywhere-else-than-here-today-audiobook/), which is a Slings & Arrows story about Oliver Welles, written by spuffyduds and read by zabira.

I hadn't read this before I heard the podfic, and since then it's been haunting me. Spuffyduds wrote an amazing, just, gogglingly amazing story about the washed up and pervy Oliver Welles, trying to stop himself from making mistakes and getting off on performing the tragedy of his life to a local and sympathetic bartender (an original character who positively sings).

Zabira's reading is low, and slow, and sort of snarky in a "this is my sarcastic face" kind of way, and transported me right smack into that bar, right there on a stool next to Oliver listening to him tell Neil precisely how he plans to continue sabotaging himself till he's dead. The reading's clear and quiet and unglamorous, just like Oliver, and a little tired, and a little miserable. It's perfect.

There's also a podbook version of this one on zabira's site and in the archive.
